I'm working with different flash movies for a client. she has several flash movies playing back to back as advertisement for different retailers. Now she wants me to add Rss Feeds for local weather on the flash movies. Now i never done this before and I'm not really that familiar with AS. I've also googled for the past hours and kept finding how to add Rss feeds to flash WEBSITES not MOVIES (.swf).
View 3 RepliesI created a flash application that is dynamically displaying xml feeds from content partners. This flash application has a black background and will be called and displayed from the C# windows application. The issue is sometimes when our application loads the flash swf file, the background color turns white so the text being displayed are not readable anymore since they are white. This intermittent and I am using flash cs 5 actionscript 3. Before I was relying on the stage background but after I saw the issue, I already used a solid background container like (vector, png, gif, or jpeg).

i am using flash 8 with as2.can flash read and parse rss feeds? if it can can someone show me an example. Also can flash load an html page into an movie clip?
View 5 RepliesI want to build a Flash app that displays content from various RSS and XML feeds.Rather than import the whole data from the different feeds straight from the url into Flash (which would take forever anyway) I'm thinking of using a MySQL database to first import the numerous data feeds and then in Flash call a server side script to retreive only the data I need.
This way only data requested is loaded into flash, which is a requirement since I intend to make the flash app available on mobiles as a flashlite app - it keeps the app light and not demanding on network traffic which will ultimately cost money.
I will need to run the import periodically, perhaps once per hour.I'm not interested in building up an archive of the data since it is time specific and will be out of date, so I intend to clear out data as it expires, perhaps with a daily script.
I have a reader on my site, but it doesn't reader ATOM feeds?
View 1 RepliesThe situation is, this resize code has always worked for me because I was using local images. I am now using a third party admin which feeds images through an application/octet-stream.
Whereas previously, I was loading the image with the Loader::load method but I am currently using the Loader::loadBytes to load the binary data because I am being fed a stream instead of an image/jpeg.
By switching to the stream, the code now fails to get past this line:
resizedImageData.copyPixels(e.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).bitmapData, cropRect, new Point(0, 0));

I have been following this tutorial quite closely, however I still can't display the <item> section of an xml RSS feed in the flash.
Here's a snippet of the feed
Code:

<title>Blah</title>
<link>www.something.com</link>

How can I display the title and the description?(I'm having trouble with the nodes part...)
For my class' final project, I created a little eBay search tool platform. It
1) performs a search (and the link generates affiliate coding so commissions would result if an eBay affiliate used this application on their website),
2) it shows a few eBay-related news feeds, and
3) it shows some beginner's videos showing how to buy on eBay.
Playing the swf as a movie on the desktop, within Flash, works fine.However, since I've published the swf into a webpage, the search function and one of the RSS feeds do not work. My application is at: [URL]I've read about crossdomain policy issues, but I'm stumped about that. Using FireBug, I see an error message:"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - [URL]This is the domain where I'm calling the RSS feed. Because this domain does NOT have a crossdomain.xml policy in place, does that mean that no matter what I do, I'll never be able to draw from it? I've set up a crossdomain.xml file in my website's root and it consists solely of:
Actionscript Code:
<cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="www.dongarber.com"/><allow-access-from domain="dongarber.com"/></cross-domain-policy>
And, the URL I use to connect to eBay's api is:
"http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedName=SearchResults&dfsp=32&from=R6&nojs pr=y&output=RSS20&saaff=afepn&siteId=0&afepn=53358 27058&customid=flashfinalprojectRSSFeed&satitle="+searchTermBox.text+"&saprclo="+minAmt.text+"&saprchi="+maxAmt.text+"&fbfmt=1&sabfmts=0&sascs=0&fsop=33&fsoo=2";
This works when I cut and paste a sample URL into the browser, say, when I substitute a search term minAmt and maxAmt into that gobbledegook. The search never returns anything when this app lives on a published html page...
I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to
a) put 1 post per box and
b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code:
function checkWord(word:String):String {
if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) {
// This word starts with "http:" at index 0 (the beginning of the word)
// Wrap it in html href (anchor) tags:
return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>";

I am trying to figure out how to parse a Flickr RSS feed to feed it into a swf to make a pretty flash interface for my photoblog. I am thinking it would be ideal if the image url was in its own element, and the description for the image was in a sibling element. However this is not the case. The problem I am running into is that the image for each post is in the same element as the description (in the content element). The image is simply wrapped by a normal html img tag. Does anyone know how I would pull the image url out of the description during parsing so that I could feed them into flash elements on the stage (one mc for image, another mc with a dynamic text box for the image description)?[code]

View 0 RepliesI have developed a twitter API in Flash Professional CS4. It works fine when it plays in the flash player locally. But when I publish the file and play it in a browser it asks for settings to be modified. Since those were the local settings I have modified them and played the file in browser and it worked fine. when I upload the file to server and embed the swf into a html file and try to play it from the server nothing happens. The API doesn't load the feeds from twitter site. The display is always blank.Possible solutions I have tried.....
added security code in flash
1st method:flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
flash.system.Security.loadPolicyFile("");
2nd method:added the crossdomain.xml policy file from twitter website.
3rd method:followed any of the above methods along with changing the "Access network only" in publish settings.
I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.
I have created drawings in Adobe Flash and saved them as .fla files. However, when I try to save the files as JPEGs beyond a certain resolution (such as 4000x4000 pixels), the image gets altered. Essentially, it get's cropped, but some background is left in the remaining pixels.
